First up is Anthony Donskov’s Adult Values + Childhood Activities= Burnout. This is a great informational piece that I think all parents and coaches of youth players should read. It is very informational for the parent who thinks that their son may be the next NHL star. Really good stuff from Anthony.

Next up is Mike Potenza’s Leaning Tower video of the week. This is a video of an exercise the Mike originally learned from Physical Therapist Bill Knowles. This is a great way to strengthen the musculature of the hip extensors in single leg stance.

Last is my All Star Break Program. This is a program that I designed for a player who was going away for a few days over the all-star break. When I think of who this would apply to, I would say anyone who is going to be away from their normal living/training environment for a few days.

On the forum, we have had some interesting discussions on planning for the playoffs, incorporating hockey skill work with strength and conditioning work, and concussions.
